DIY Exfoliating Scrub
Overview
Over time, skin can become dull and lifeless. Environmental pollutants, sun damage, and cold weather can all leave the skin feeling rough and dry. If you crave silky, smooth skin, but don't have a lot of money to spend at expensive spas or on top-of-the-line products, you're in luck. You can make fresh, natural, effective skin care products, including an exfoliating scrub, at home using ingredients you might already have.
